Rick Valicenti in Newcity Design 50

Rick Valicenti/Thirst has been featured in Newcity as one of the Design 50: Who Shapes Chicago 2015. This issue recognizes our city's curators of design, praising the importance of bringing together a scene where "unlike the coasts, design can still feel marginal... the people featured in these pages keep the creative industry humming. Let us raise our voices in a paean to these otherwise unsung heroes." Valicenti's curation of the 2014 CHGO DSGN exhibition at the Cultural Center is highlighted.
